1 John 4

1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God. For many false prophets have gone out into the world.

1 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، لَا تُصَدِّقُوا كُلَّ رُوحٍ، بَلِ ٱمْتَحِنُوا ٱلْأَرْوَاحَ: هَلْ هِيَ مِنَ ٱللهِ؟ لِأَنَّ أَنْبِيَاءَ كَذَبَةً كَثِيرِينَ قَدْ خَرَجُوا إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ.

2 By this you will know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,

2 بِهَذَا تَعْرِفُونَ رُوحَ ٱللهِ: كُلُّ رُوحٍ يَعْتَرِفُ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ فَهُوَ مِنَ ٱللهِ،

3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time.

3 وَكُلُّ رُوحٍ لَا يَعْتَرِفُ بِيَسُوعَ ٱلْمَسِيحِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ فِي ٱلْجَسَدِ، فَلَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ. وَهَذَا هُوَ رُوحُ ضِدِّ ٱلْمَسِيحِ ٱلَّذِي سَمِعْتُمْ أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي، وَٱلْآنَ هُوَ فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ.

4 You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

4 أَنْتُمْ مِنَ ٱللهِ أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَوْلَادُ، وَقَدْ غَلَبْتُمُوهُمْ لِأَنَّ ٱلَّذِي فِيكُمْ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِي فِي ٱلْعَالَمِ.

5 They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.

5 هُمْ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَلِكَ يَتَكَلَّمُونَ مِنَ ٱلْعَالَمِ، وَٱلْعَالَمُ يَسْمَعُ لَهُمْ.

6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. That is how we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of deception.

6 نَحْنُ مِنَ ٱللهِ، فَمَنْ يَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ يَسْمَعُ لَنَا، وَمَنْ لَيْسَ مِنَ ٱللهِ لَا يَسْمَعُ لَنَا. مِنْ هَذَا نَعْرِفُ رُوحَ ٱلْحَقِّ وَرُوحَ ٱلضَّلَالِ.

7 Beloved, let us love one another, because love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

7 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، لِنُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، لِأَنَّ ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ هِيَ مِنَ ٱللهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ فَقَدْ وُلِدَ مِنَ ٱللهِ وَيَعْرِفُ ٱللهَ.

8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

8 وَمَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ ٱللهَ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ مَحَبَّةٌ.

9 This is how God’s love was revealed among us: God sent His one and only Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.

9 بِهَذَا أُظْهِرَتْ مَحَبَّةُ ٱللهِ فِينَا: أَنَّ ٱللهَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ ٱبْنَهُ ٱلْوَحِيدَ إِلَى ٱلْعَالَمِ لِكَيْ نَحْيَا بِهِ.

10 And love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as the atoning sacrifice for our sins.

10 فِي هَذَا هِيَ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ: لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا نَحْنُ أَحْبَبْنَا ٱللهَ، بَلْ أَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا، وَأَرْسَلَ ٱبْنَهُ كَفَّارَةً لِخَطَايَانَا.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

11 أَيُّهَا ٱلْأَحِبَّاءُ، إِنْ كَانَ ٱللهُ قَدْ أَحَبَّنَا هَكَذَا، يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَيْضًا أَنْ يُحِبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا.

12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God remains in us, and His love is perfected in us.

12 ٱللهُ لَمْ يَنْظُرْهُ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ. إِنْ أَحَبَّ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا، فَٱللهُ يَثْبُتُ فِينَا، وَمَحَبَّتُهُ قَدْ تَكَمَّلَتْ فِينَا.

13 By this we know that we remain in Him, and He in us: He has given us of His Spirit.

13 بِهَذَا نَعْرِفُ أَنَّنَا نَثْبُتُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِينَا: أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَعْطَانَا مِنْ رُوحِهِ.

14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world.

14 وَنَحْنُ قَدْ نَظَرْنَا وَنَشْهَدُ أَنَّ ٱلْآبَ قَدْ أَرْسَلَ ٱلِٱبْنَ مُخَلِّصًا لِلْعَالَمِ.

15 If anyone confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

15 مَنِ ٱعْتَرَفَ أَنَّ يَسُوعَ هُوَ ٱبْنُ ٱللهِ، فَٱللهُ يَثْبُتُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ فِي ٱللهِ.

16 And we have come to know and believe the love that God has for us. God is love; whoever abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

16 وَنَحْنُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا وَصَدَّقْنَا ٱلْمَحَبَّةَ ٱلَّتِي لِلهِ فِينَا. ٱللهُ مَحَبَّةٌ، وَمَنْ يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، يَثْبُتْ فِي ٱللهِ وَٱللهُ فِيهِ.

17 In this way, love has been perfected among us, so that we may have confidence on the day of judgment; for in this world we are just like Him.

17 بِهَذَا تَكَمَّلَتِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ فِينَا: أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا ثِقَةٌ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ، لِأَنَّهُ كَمَا هُوَ فِي هَذَا ٱلْعَالَمِ، هَكَذَا نَحْنُ أَيْضًا.

18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear involves punishment. The one who fears has not been perfected in love.

18 لَا خَوْفَ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، بَلِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةُ ٱلْكَامِلَةُ تَطْرَحُ ٱلْخَوْفَ إِلَى خَارِجٍ لِأَنَّ ٱلْخَوْفَ لَهُ عَذَابٌ. وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ فَلَمْ يَتَكَمَّلْ فِي ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ.

19 We love because He first loved us.

19 نَحْنُ نُحِبُّهُ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ أَحَبَّنَا أَوَّلًا.

20 If anyone says, “I love God,” but hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.

20 إِنْ قَالَ أَحَدٌ: «إِنِّي أُحِبُّ ٱللهَ» وَأَبْغَضَ أَخَاهُ، فَهُوَ كَاذِبٌ. لِأَنَّ مَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ ٱلَّذِي أَبْصَرَهُ، كَيْفَ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُحِبَّ ٱللهَ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يُبْصِرْهُ؟

21 And we have this commandment from Him: Whoever loves God must love his brother as well.

21 وَلَنَا هَذِهِ ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ مِنْهُ: أَنَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ ٱللهَ يُحِبُّ أَخَاهُ أَيْضًا.
